About Me

ABOUT ME

Hi~ it's Kate, a nature lover and a 2% mild-hippy. I'm extremely passionate about art, fashion and all kinds of beautiful things.
I love drawing, reading, swimming and silly TV shows. I enjoy being in the woods and mountains as I perceive nature as the most selfless being. Top 4 favorite activities: hiking, bike riding in quaint little streets, doodling in the park or just snug on the couch for a good read.
Quirky movies, old music, old streets, all kinds of artsy stuff with history are right up my alley. Love meeting new people, learning new culture, embracing what the planet has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great time hanging out with some couchsurfers in Colorado and was blown away by their hospitality and the philosophy behind this couch surfing community. I have couchsurfed and lived with a bunch of musicians in Australia and New Zealand. All the beautiful people I met really inspired me to travel more, seeing things in different perspective, stepping outside my comfort zone and opening up my heart to whatever happens along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dacing crazily with my friend in a rather empty club without feeling embarrassed. It was great fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you smile and send love to the world, it will smile and love back. (most of the time)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Genuine happiness, kindness and vegetarian food.
A funny hand drawn portrait of you.
